...term forecasting particularly tricky. “You can’t predict more than a week or two at a time,” Farrell said. According to Farrell, the jet stream “wanders on week-long, or monthly time scales.” This mercurial pattern leads to stretches of unusual warmth as well as unseasonably cold spells in Boston, Farrell said. As Wofsy put it, Boston is particularly likely to experience a “January thaw” as well as a “January freeze.” And March, likewise...
...than other Democratic Presidential hopefuls, with a 62 liberal rating, compared with 80 for Feingold, 81 for Hillary Clinton and 86 for John Kerry.

By the second week of March, they had questioned Cloyd's mother. Investigators say Cloyd cracked first, to his parents, who informed authorities; Moseley filled in the details for police. The three boys face five-to-20-year sentences per count if convicted...

Last spring’s squad won just one game outside of Jordan Field, but the team sees this loss as hardly a pattern, given last weekend’s victory over Stony Brook in New York and the fact that the Minutemen had not fallen at home since March 2004. “It’s a tough place to win on the road,” captain Jake Samuelson said...
